mod item destroyed when dropped

[AnimeOfTheArts]

So the bug is i make the item, i drop it, and it disappears. i have seen a post where recompiling the animation files fixes this, but it did not for me. so i do believe its something with the animation files, unless there is a script required to allow the item to drop, that tells the item to play this animation.

 

however i dont think thats the problem so, i more wanted to know if my animation for the item is correct. I make the animation by just putting the image in the center axis of the spriter, and i don't make a dropping animation (first mistake?) then i rename the items in the bottom right corner menu to "myitem" then "idle" (second possible mistake for items?) then save and compile it into a animation.

 

Help would be greatly apreciated

Does anyone have any ideas?

Are you setting the bank and build of the item's animation/sprite in the initialization function?

 

From the console in game try entering c_spawn("youritemhere") and then press backspace to open up the debug overlay.

 

This will show you if the build/bank/animation is invalid/missing.

If you can pick it up with the work action key (usually space), then the animation is broken.
